Freezer User Manual10
Daily Use
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing
fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food for a long time.
To freeze small amount of fresh foods it is not
necessary to change the present setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the FastFreeze
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two top
compartments.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate, a label located on the inside of the
appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.
When the freezing process is completed, return
to the required temperature (see "FastFreeze
Function").
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 2
hours.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick and
easy to find the food packages you want. If large
quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers. On all shelves it is possible to place
food that protrude until load limit stated on the
side of the middle section
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a
power failure, if the power has
been off for longer that the value
shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "Rising
time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen
(after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one tray for the
production of ice-cubes.
1. Fill the tray with water.
2. Put the tray in the freezer compartment
Caution! Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the
tray from the freezer.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage time in the
event of a power cut or breakdown.

Hints and tips
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils
sound when refrigerant is pumped.
A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance
caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches on or
off.
Hints for energy saving
Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens,
set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a
saving in electricity consumption.
If foreseen, do not remove the cold
accumulators from the freezer basket.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
the maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further
food to be frozen should be added during this
period;
freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned, foodstuffs;
prepare food in small portions to enable it to be
rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required;
wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene
and make sure that the packages are airtight;
do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter;
lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
it is advisable to show the freezing in date on
each individual pack to enable you to keep tab
of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen
food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer;
be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the foodstore to the freezer in the
shortest possible time;
not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary;
once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen;
do not exceed the storage period indicated by
the food manufacturer.

Care and cleaning
Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.
General warnings
Caution! Unplug the appliance
before carrying out any
maintenance operation.

of the appliance and save electricity
consumption.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer compartment is frost free. This
means that there is no build up of frost when it
is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor
on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the compartment,
driven by an automatically controlled fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Warning! If the cabinet will be
kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to
prevent the food inside from
spoiling in case of a power
failure.
